Fernandes is a player who thrives in chaos, tactically. He was Sporting’s best man for a few years when everything ran through him and he was able to put up great G/A’s which would mask the major flaws brought to his game.
Fast forward to the start of his career at Manchester United and the same sort of followed — Ole’s real lack of a system brought the best out of him and allowed the platform for him to do the best and the worst of what he can offer.
Some will say that having a coach like Ten Hag would improve the player, but I just think it would further exemplify his weaknesses. He’s not really a player who can play as a cog in the machine. He’s at his best free as a bird, making high risk high reward plays, breaking the pressing line to chase like a mad man alone. I.E. in “bad teams” like @giorno says. People can chuck chance created and most assists stats and whatever at your face, but honestly the more we resemble a team, the less impactful Fernandes will be.
